ETA denies role in Madrid bombings - Basque media
Fri 12 March, 2004 18:05

MADRID (Reuters) - The Basque separatist group ETA has denied responsibility for train bombings that killed at least 199 people, Basque media has reported, citing phone calls from the armed group.

"An ETA message has arrived saying that it bore no responsibility for the attack," a presenter for ETB Basque public television said on Friday.

The Basque newspaper Gara also said on its Web site that it had received a phone call from a person claiming to represent ETA saying it "had no responsibility" for the attacks which involved 10 bombs set off simultaneously on four trains on Thursday morning.

There was no way to independently confirm the authenticity of the call, but ETA has claimed responsibility for past attacks through ETB and Gara.

There has been speculation that the manner of the bombings and the scale of the attack indicated possible involvement by Islamist militants, though Madrid insists ETA is the most likely suspect. Some security analysts have also suggested a militant splinter group of ETA was behind the attacks.
